Best value for a GPS under 1K (by 1 dollar) great graphics and quick draw rate. I shot a few IFR approaches with it in heavy stuff (of course having real steam gages ILS an-all as back up). Big screen nothing but good about it. You can add terrain avoidance features to it. It may be over kill for flying a Kolb, but like extra HP, if you need it its there.

I use a Garmin 76, and before that the 12XL and the 45. Each was designed for Marine and recreation, and cost in the $150 range. The main thing we need is to not get lost and know how long it will take us to get to the next gas station, for fuel planning. These simpler unit do that very well. Nothing wrong with spending more money, if you really want to, or if you really teavel a lot, it just isn't necessary for the flying that most of us do. -------- John Jung Firestar II N6163J Surprise, AZ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=5324#5324 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 02:44:18 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: UltraStar For Sale On Ebay...

I use a Garmin e-map. I was looking seriously at the Garmin GPSMAP 172 for around $349 on the internet, new from several sites. The screen is much larger than the e-map or 96 units and does the job quite well for a grey shade unit. When you think about it, we as fliers don't need the complexity of road by road guidance. As a matter of fact, like the boating community we go "rubber band". Cookies still get laid down, satellites still give us our position and if you have a map system, roads and references still exist. As with my no longer produced unit, the Map source "Roads and Recreation" include ALL airports private or otherwise. Are they current? I don't know, but for my purposes, this unit should work exactly like a boat in the air with a road map below that includes altitude and airports and compass. Go figure! Now, this unit also comes with a mount, a power cable, a waterproof case, data card capability, WAAS enabled, 3000 waypoints, 10,000 active track points, 50 routes, sends with receives and displays positioning data with DSC-equipped VHF radio's, Tracks back with the touch of a button, and (drum roll please) comes complete with a external antenna!!! (P.S. Garmin, if your monitoring, please send check and new 172 unit for free to me). I know that John H. and his travels (and they are many) suggests the Garmin 96 or above. They aren't in the budget for most mortal common man. I also don't know if flying the way I will be flying would need such sophistication. Maybe in time I will change my thinking but for now, most of my flying will be within 100 mile range and the terrain, as well as altitude would be more critical to me when I fly low. Through a mountainous region, I'm not sure.

Would you mind telling us what you found and how you fixed it? Did you just tighten the nut or did you have to replace the cone or use thread locker?? Which model gearbox?

I do know about Brian's site and yes, he does deserve a medal... Unfortunately for me, he states; "As far as I know, my database does not fit any other Magellan receivers, such as the Skyblazer, Skystar, Skystar Plus, 330, or anything in the Meridian series." and I'm the lucky recipient of a Skystar Plus... Woe is me... Thanx again... DVD -------- Any pilot can describe the mechanics of flying. What it can do for the spirit of man is beyond description. Barry M. Goldwater, US senator.

The advantages to these moving map GPS units is that you know where the airports are, and can also see the boundries of airspace. If you fly in new or congested areas, being able to see those airspace boundries can save you from getting into a lot of trouble [Shocked] Michael A.
